Yuval Ashkar - Taksim Rast

I sat down with my teacher to record his skill and love for the oud. In this video, Yuval performs a Taksim on Rast.
Yuval Ashkar’s music is a testament to his multicultural heritage, blending influences from Afghanistan, Iraq, and Europe. His profound connection to Middle Eastern traditions is reflected in his soulful compositions and performances.

According to history, the Oud is the first instrument in the family of lutes. The Oud is slightly different to the western lute, and Oud is the arabic name for the instrument. I hope that helps! :)
